A Photo Speaks a Thousand Words

I know many of you have seen or heard of the excellent lighting on the new Babylock machines. I got a Crescendo in late July and have been meaning to post this for a while. While it doesn't look like it, my Espire is on and that is all the light it gives.

While the new machine has such a larger harp area, better lighting and many bells and whistles, I didn't realize how vastly better the feed dog system was going to be. Now, my fabric feeds in very straight and smooth. With my Espire, I was constantly having to fight to keep the fabric straight while the machine wanted to veer it off to the left.

Wow big difference. I have a little led that gives off more light than your Espire. Have fun!!

Afraid to ask - what is the price tag on the Crescendo ?

wow, that's great. I just got a new refrigerator and it's like an airport runway in there. Bright!

That is cool! My QE 4.2 has great lightening. I thought I was going crazy though when I felt like it veers to the left. Not the same machine as yours but its nice to know the possibility exists.

lol, I can relate to that ;-)

I know just how you feel. I traded my Elna in and got a BL Unity for quilting and embroidery and a BL Elizabeth for my machine to use when embroidering on the Uni or going to classes. The lighting is one of the many features I love!

I never really had a veering issue with my espire. I have a brother dreamweaver xe now and it does do a nice job as well. The lighting and harp space has been a vast improvement over the espire. I bet you love the muvit foot, one of my most favorite features

Nope, your not going crazy, I have the QE 4.0 and it veers left too.

You know, for years back in the late 80s I had students who complained they couldn't get a good 1/4" stitch over a long length of fabric. Virtually every time I checked their machine it was a Singer or a Sears, which at time was made by Sears. Those darn things tracked like a junk yard dog. Thought all that nonsense had been improved on the newer machines.:rolleyes:
